I was really looking forward to this one — but unfortunately it ended up falling a bit flat for me…:(
I ultimately wanted more from this world & more from its characters (Parry + Brian are an exception to this — I adored them).
There were a lot of times throughout ”Love & Other Cursed Things” where I was frustrated with the characters and their actions (October continuing to be friends with Amelia even though she treats Zoey poorly was extremely frustrating & I’m glad Parry mentioned this to Zoey).
I will say that I did enjoy the latter portion of the novel — but I wish the energy that the final 20% (or so) had was carried throughout the rest of the other 80% as well…

I would love to receive a Parry + Brian novel one day. ♡
